In this circuit, energy is transferred from a battery to a circuit wire and then to a light bulb, where some of it leaves the system. Starting from the battery, which series shows the correct order of energy transformations taking place in this circuit?

The correct order of energy transformation is from CHEMICAL ENERGY to ELECTRICAL ENERGY to LIGHT ENERGY

Explanation:

Energy which is simply defined as the ability to perform work is made up of different forms, these include:

- Mechanical energy: Associated with machines at work.

- LIGHT ENERGY: produced by light bulbs

- ELECTRICAL ENERGY: taking in by television set and other electrical appliances.

- CHEMICAL ENERGY: stores in food and other fuels

- Sound energy: Produced by vibrating objects example piano, drums.

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed in a closed system, but can be transformed from one form to another, thereby keeping the energy in the closed system constant. From the question, the circuit is an example of a closed system and the order of energy transformation taking place is from the battery (CHEMICAL ENERGY) to ELECTRICAL ENERGY(power source) to LIGHT ENERGY(bulb). I hope this helps, thanks.
